Why has Twitter banned 1500 accounts and what are NPCs?

Twitter has suspended hundreds of accounts after users on pro-Trump Reddit forum r/The_Donald coordinated efforts to set up 'non-player character' profiles mocking liberals on the social networking site.

The trolling campaign was born out of the characterisation of liberals as automatons incapable of independent thought on areas of Reddit and 4chan.

In 24 hours there were more than 30,000 uses of the term NPC on Twitter, and Facebook pages dedicated to the trend have amassed tens of thousands of followers.

So what is an NPC?

It's a video game reference.

Non-player characters (NPCs) are controlled by the game's artificial intelligence rather than the player. As a result, they're limited to certain scripted responses and actions.

In a 2016 post on 4chan, one anonymous user referred to people "who autonomously follow groupthinks and social trends in order to appear convincingly human" as NPCs.

The parody, Sword Art Online Abridged, had an NPC named “Gary”. All he could say was “We must save my family!” However, his settings were not carefully made, so when the players with him entered a trap room, Gary immediately went over and set off the trap, literally killing some humans for real.

Here is a short version showing Kirito exacting his revenge on Gary. (Not that it mattered, because as soon as you kill an NPC, another duplicate one spawns, is created, likely with a liberal arts or fine arts degree in Social Justice.)

This has got to be the funniest meme movement ever. It so describes lunatic leftists who parrot the daily liberal talking points from the MSM, celebrities and politicians.

I saw one that had a bunch of NPCs with pink pussy hats exclaiming as one how unique and different they all are. LOL!!!

The fact that it’s true and driving the libs crazier is just icing on the cake.

And I almost bought an NPC sweatshirt because I thought it meant Not Politically Correct.

Which I am.

Bump for THEY THINK THEY ARE WINNING

But they are not!

This meme certainly touched a nerve. Funny how that works, isn't it? And as somebody pointed out, taking one letter previous to NPC, you have MOB. And that one touched a nerve too.

No wonder the Left is so desperate to control social media.

Not lying. The PBS symbol looks a LOT like NPC meme. Maybe there's a reason?

[KitJ]

Pinging you all to the best one! PBS is an NPC. Apparently, the NPC meme has hit a nerve. All this time they've been telegraphing what they want us to be. Really? I say, let 'em have it! Scroll up for other memes on this thread.

Here’s a link to George Washington’s letters. This one talks about some societies that we have discussed before. Page 201-it’s correcting some previous correspondence, which I did not have time to hunt for. Catch it before it is scrubbed?
